ext/phar/phar.c in PHP before 5.4.40, 5.5.x before 5.5.24, and 5.6.x before 5.6.8 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory or cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted length value in conjunction with crafted serialized data in a phar archive, related to the phar_parse_metadata and phar_parse_pharfile functions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A flaw in PHP's PHAR archive handling could let a remote attacker make PHP read past a buffer, potentially exposing process memory or crashing the application. The source bundle names fixed PHP releases: 5.4.40, 5.5.24, and 5.6.8. Exposure is most likely in legacy PHP 5.4, 5.5, or 5.6 deployments, especially applications or tooling that process PHAR archives from untrusted or remote sources. Distribution packages may have backported fixes, so version strings alone may be insufficient. Treat this as a legacy-platform hygiene issue with real confidentiality and availability impact. Prioritize internet-facing or file-processing PHP systems first, then confirm vendor-patched packages across remaining assets. Mitigation focus: Upgrade PHP to 5.4.40, 5.5.24, 5.6.8, or later supported releases.; Apply vendor security packages from your Linux or platform provider.; Retire unsupported PHP 5.x runtimes where possible..
